Top Video Games of 2013 – The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds takes the hero of Hyrule back to the setting of Nintendo’s best video games: A Link to the Past. This is one of the top video games because it not only features the same swordplay and dungeon crawling that Zelda fans love, but also adds a new mechanic that transforms Link into two-dimensional wall art, allowing him to traverse obstacles in a brand-new way.

Nintendo has another major franchise release with Super Mario 3D World for the Wii U. But given the Wii U’s disappointing sales so far, A Link Between Worlds is far more likely to end up as one of the top-selling video games for the 2013 holiday season.
